And dont call me a peacenik, thats just ridiculous...
Hitler could have been stopped very early on, if Euro-wags had the spine to do it. But as usual they chose to send in the gullible dim-wit Neville Chamberlain, to secure "Peace in our time!" Euro's always believe that if your "nice" to a dictator, he'll be good and the problem will just go away.
And for the second time in the century, Americans had to die to save Europe. Germany was surrounded by hostile countries, but still America had to save you. And since then, look at the repect we get from countries, who had it not been for U.S. Troops and resolve would have all been part of the Russian Empire.
